Install a search engine. How to Set Google as the Default Search Engine in Internet Explorer

The start page in a browser is the tab, page or site on the Internet that opens first when you open your browser each time you launch it, or when you press the Home key.

Do you have a desire or need to work specifically with the Yandex search engine? The start page, which can be installed by a user of absolutely any level, will always open first when loading the browser program.

To achieve this, you can use one of the methods below. It is quite easy to install and assign Yandex as the starting page, and in this article we will look in detail at the options on how to do this.

It all depends on what browser you use, because the applications and settings algorithms for each program are different. But I wonder why there is no start page in the Yandex Browser itself?

The most universal and simplest way: type “www.ya.ru” in the address bar of your browser and wait for the web resource to load. In the upper left corner you can see the inscription “Make start”.

Click on it and you're done. From this moment you begin your work with the site “www.yandex.ru” or, more simply, with the Yandex search engine.

Yandex itself provides us with a convenient and comfortable way to configure home pages in browsers using automatic utilities specially created for this.

When the download is complete, you should install a browser manager on your computer or laptop, and this smart utility will be able to monitor changes in the home page itself, even despite the actions of various malware.

The manager will be able to save you from such unpleasant surprises as Webalta and calculate so that only Yandex always remains as the starting point in your browser. But a manager cannot always overcome all obstacles. More on this later in the article.

The most common browsers used today are:

If you are a supporter of the classic default browser Internet Explorer, then the following algorithm helps you configure the Yandex start page.

Open Internet Explorer and click the icon "Settings"
in the upper right corner, which opens the window "Service" .

You can also call up this menu by simultaneously pressing the hotkey combination Alt +X.

Select from the drop-down menu "Browser Options" , or it can also be called "Browser Option" . Next, open the tab "Are common" .

In operating systems such as Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, Internet Explorer is a built-in program.

But the installation is carried out in the same way as other versions of this browser for almost 20 years.

To make Yandex the start page in Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11, you should complete the following steps:

In the upper right corner click "Settings" and choose "Browser Options" .
Enter links to home page addresses in the field. If, in addition to Yandex, other links are needed, then here we enter the addresses for them. There should be only one address on each line.

"Start from Home Page"

We confirm the actions by clicking on the button “ OK" .

After completing all the steps, our Internet Explorer will display Yandex as the first page when loading.

Installation in Microsoft Edge

For fans of Microsoft Edge, there is the following algorithm. To open settings in Microsoft Edge, click on the icon

The function will be displayed at the bottom of the page "View additional options" and enable the add-on "Show home page button" .

We enter the address we need “https://www.yandex.ru” into the text field in the same way as in the case of Internet Explorer.

We confirm our actions by pressing a button "Save" . When you restart the browser, Yandex will become the newly introduced home page.

Installation in Google Chrome

Google Chrome, the most popular browser according to independent surveys on the Internet, offers us the following method. In the browser we look for the icon "Settings"
and open it.

Finding the button "Appearance" . Enable the add-on "Show Home Button" .

In the query line "Enter web address" enter the required link: “https://www.yandex.ru/”. This completes the setup, because all user actions are immediately synchronized with your profile in the browser.

After completing all the manipulations when you restart Google Chrome, Yandex will be displayed when you press the button "Home" (image of a house).

But if you want Yandex to load completely automatically, then you should use a different installation option. To change you will need:

1 In the Google Chrome menu in the upper right corner, call the command "Settings" .

2 Looking for an item "Initial group" , where we put a tick (if it is not checked) "Next Pages" .

4 If you are a fan of Yandex, then here you can configure it as the “default” search engine. In chapter "Search" indicate the search engine Yandex.

5 Close settings. Confirm your actions by pressing a button "OK" no need, everything syncs instantly in this browser.

If you have configured your browser as described above, then when you turn on Google Chrome, the pages installed in the initial group (in our case, Yandex) will always open. "Settings" - "Basic" .

There we are looking for the line "When Firefox starts" and set the value "Show home page" . Accordingly, in the line "Homepage" enter the link “https://www.yandex.ru/”.

Like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox uses the hotkey combination Alt + Home to navigate to the home page.

Installation in Opera

Supporters of the Opera browser can use the following method: use the hotkey combination Alt + P to call up the menu.

Switch to "Browser" to section "At startup" . Next click on the link "Set Pages" and in the field "Add new page" enter the path “https://www.yandex.ru/”.

After all operations, confirm the actions by pressing the button "OK" and set the switch to position "Open home page" .

That's all the necessary steps to achieve our goal - to make Yandex Search the home page in the Opera browser.

After following all the instructions, the browser will automatically open the search engine when launched.

Now all modern browsers support entering search queries from the address bar. At the same time, most web browsers allow you to independently select the desired “search engine” from the list of available ones.

Google is the most popular search engine in the world, but not all browsers use it as their default query handler.

If you always want to use Google when searching in your web browser, then this article is for you. We will tell you how to install the “Good Corporation” search platform in each of the currently popular browsers that provide this feature.

We will start, of course, with the most common web browser today - . In general, as a product of a well-known Internet giant, this browser already contains Google search installed by default. But it happens that after installing some software, another “search engine” takes its place.

In this case, you will have to correct the situation yourself.

That's all. After these simple steps, when searching in the address bar (omnibox) of Chrome, Google search results will again be displayed.

Mozilla Firefox

At the time of writing, Yandex search is used by default. At least the version of the program for the Russian-speaking segment of users. Therefore, if you want to use Google instead, you will have to correct the situation yourself.

This can be done, again, in just a couple of clicks.

It is done. Now a quick search on Google is possible not only through the address dialing bar, but also through a separate search bar, which is located to the right and marked accordingly.

Opera

Initially, just like Chrome, it uses Google search. By the way, this web browser is completely based on the open project of the Good Corporation - .

If, nevertheless, the default search has been changed and you want to return Google to this “post”, here, as they say, everything is from the same opera.

In fact, the process of setting the default search engine in Opera is almost no different from those described above.

Microsoft Edge

But here everything is a little different. Firstly, in order for Google to appear in the list of available search engines, you must use the site at least once google.ru through . Secondly, the corresponding setting is “hidden” quite far away and it can be somewhat difficult to find it right away.

The process for changing the default search engine in Microsoft Edge is as follows.

Again, if you haven't used Google Search in MS Edge before, you won't see it in this list.

Internet Explorer

Well, where would we be without “everyone’s favorite”. Quick search in the address bar began to be supported in the eighth version of Donkey. However, the process of setting the default search engine was constantly changing with the change of numbers in the name of the web browser.

We will look at installing Google search as the main one using the latest version of Internet Explorer - eleventh as an example.

Compared to previous browsers, things are even more confusing here.

That's all. In principle, there is nothing complicated about this.

Usually changing the default search in the browser occurs without problems. But what if this is absolutely impossible to do and every time after changing the main search engine, it changes again to something else.

In this case, the most logical explanation is that your PC is infected with a virus. To remove it, you can use any antivirus tool like .

After cleaning the system from malware, the problem with the inability to change the search engine in the browser should disappear.

Google Chrome is one of the top three programs that people around the world use for comfortable travel on a virtual network. This browser has gained popularity due to its high speed of operation, as well as ensuring security when working with the Internet. Google Chrome search engine is characterized by a convenient and intuitive interface.

Thanks to it, you can analyze running processes, manage and change them, if necessary, completely adapting to memory limits and OS resources.

The speed of script processing has also been increased, this became possible using the V8 JavaScript engine.

The developers integrated the search form into the address bar, which became a distinctive feature of the browser. The selection of the desired search engine is made in the browser settings, which led to a reduction in the size of the toolbar. Thus, it has become the most minimalistic among all browsers.

Download Chrome search engine for free

In principle, any browser can be downloaded completely free of charge from official websites. In all other cases, when you are asked to pay a certain amount, you have fallen for scammers. In addition to the fact that the free program that the developers share with you will be sold to you for money, you will also catch a bunch of viruses during installation. So I advise you to download the source file for installation exclusively from official sites completely free of charge.

Some may wonder why someone would spend time developing a good program and giving it away for free, and whether altruists really still exist in the world. Not at all! The fact is that browser developers themselves are interested in giving away their product for free and releasing updates and useful features as often as possible so that people install their browsers.

For what? Google chrom search engine is distributed by Google, and the Yandex browser, of course, is the Yandex search engine, which is the largest system in the RuNet, and we don’t forget about Explorer, which works for the benefit of . They also pay extra to the distributors of their programs, where the default search is already set to one or another system, which allows them to earn a lot of money from advertising, collect information about your browsing on the Internet, your interests and hobbies.

Other developers, such as Firefox, Opera or Safari, enter into contracts with search engines for fabulous sums so that this or that search engine is installed by default in their browsers, as well as for information about user behavior on sites. This information helps search engines allocate places in search results, so as you can see, dear webmasters, our favorite browsers help us both rise and fall in search results.

Google Chrome search engine can be downloaded from the official website or by logging into your Google Chrome search engine account.

Install Google Chrome search engine

The difference between the online installer that you download from the official website and the usual one is that it does not contain the browser itself. The online installer you downloaded gets acquainted with your settings and operating system, then when you launch it, it connects to the server, transferring data to receive installation files specifically for your computer, which will begin installing the program on your computer automatically. Thus, when you try to run the gugol chrom search engine Internet installer on a computer without the Internet or on another computer or laptop, the installation will not occur. It follows that the installation can only be done on the machine where the installer was downloaded and with active access to the Internet.

So, we launch the downloaded installer from the Google Chrome search engine, carefully answer all the OS questions, and wait until the installation process is completely completed.

When the installation is complete, the Google Chrome search engine will launch automatically and, first of all, will prompt you to log in to your Google account. In principle, this step is optional and can be skipped by simply clicking on the appropriate button.

That's all, the installation is complete and you can start working with the browser, which you will undoubtedly like.
